An exceedingly pretty rose of soft, glowing apricot-pink, each bloom packed with numerous delicately ruffled petals.
Held on red-tinged stems, the blooms begin as shallow cups, opening to full rosettes, revealing petals of a richer hue, which gradually pale over time.
They have a delicious strong fruity fragrance. A very healthy variety; it makes a strong, vigorous shrub with bushy, upright growth.
Named after the flawed heroine of Thomas Hardy’s, The Return of the Native
